"THE LAZY FISH POEMS"

 

AT THE LAZY FISH

Yesterday
Was kissing goodbye
And catching up
Who slept where
Who cooked for whom
The fish they caught
The money spent
The ones that stayed
The ones that went

Today
Is all noises
The sounds of the Sounds
Hum of the float plane
Wash of the ferry
Me getting used
To being alone
You once again
A voice on the phone

Tomorrow
Is empty
Mostly I try
And keep it that way
Dream
Of all that space
Waiting to be filled
With love and emotion

............................ 

 

WAITING

Today
I count the days
Left
And check the nights too
“Cause you never know
Sometimes they work out
One different

Like you did

............................ 

 

WINDS OF CHANGE

I’ve tried to write poems to the past
Capture the raw wind on the hill
Release it, bit by bit, in this little room
But in this poem calling
I feel instead a gentle breeze
Which whispers future nothings
Sweetly in my ears.
